USE

1) ELECTRIC HOB

The hot plates are equipped with 4 radiant heating
elements with different powers and diameters.
Cooking zones are aesily identifiables thanks to the
circles (see illustration in description) on the top;
relative powers are listed in the scheme n.1.
On the frontal panel, close to each knob, has been
silk-screened a scheme where is indicated to which
cooking zone the knob refers (fig. 1).
In some particular models the scheme annexes a
light indicator that turns on when the cooking zone
temperature is above 60° C.
The indicator will turn off only when the temperature
of the cooking zone will be below the value: this is
the reason why we call it residual heat indicator.
Some other models they have only one indicator
(see description paragraph).

Connection of electric heating elements

Heating elements are controlled by energy
regulators with 12 positions or by commutators with
6 positions that permit to obtain a big range of
different temperatures.
In Scheme 1, by way of information, we give
instructions to obtain different cooking levels.
To connect the heating elements is necessary to
turn clockwise or anticlockwise the relative knob.
Indicator light 9 shows the connection of one or
more heating elements.
To connect the heating elements with double
cooking zone is necessary to turn clockwise or
anticlockwise the knob mapped in fig. 1 and stop in
position "0".
To diminish from position 12 to position 2, insert
one cooking zone only.

How to use the cooking zones

Heating takes place only in the inside part of the
circles drawn on the special glass. The circles have
to be wholly covered by the pots.
